I've just gone through the procedure to update the microcode on this haswell i7 box, but the version is the same now as before today's portage update. On looking again at the output of 'emerge intel-microcode' I see the date hasn't changed:
intel-ucode/06-3f-02 signature: 0x306f2 flags: 0x6f revision: 0x3b date: 2017-11-17 size: 33792 It looks as though my CPU hasn't been fixed yet. Is that right? -- Regards, Peter.
